Florida is now NOWHERE near purplish. Absolutely Ruby Red. State Republicans have been in charge so long that they've totally rigged the system to favor Rs and supress Ds.

For statewide elections, Dems have fallen so far behind. It's become comical when there's even a faint, faint hint that a Dem may have a shot...only to by buried by the vote and never, ever to be heard from again.

I believe we're also seeing erosion at City Council and County Boards in what were once blue, urban enclaves. Registered party affiliations reflect the shift. Although, I DO believe there are Dems hiding behind their supposed "Indpendent" status which might put us further ahead than everyone thinks.

The statewide shift began back with Jeb Bush in 1999, but Trump 1.0 and COVID deniers just supercharged everything flooding MAGATS from all over the country and world here.
